Mercy Corps Nepal works to build the absorptive, adaptive and transformative potential of vulnerable individuals and communities across Nepal. Mercy Corps began operations in Nepal in 2005, and since then has implemented projects in the sectors of economic and food security; climate, natural resource and disaster risk management; youth engagement; with the inclusion of women and disadvantaged groups as important cross-cutting themes throughout each intervention area. Mercy Corps has recently launched Promoting Agriculture, Health and Livelihoods (PAHAL) Program and is a Food-for-Peace funded 5 years program with the overall goal that vulnerable populations in Nepal are resilient to the stressors and shocks that impede food security.
